Behavioural polymorphism in one of the world’s largest populations of loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta (2010, background): “These may be several days longer than the ‘egglaying to next emergence’ period, defined by Limpus (1985) and shown to have a temperature-dependent relationship (Hays et al. 2002a), for turtles that required attempts over several nights to successfully deposit a clutch.”
Novel GPS tracking of sea turtles as a tool for conservation management (2007, background): “Existing studies of female sea turtles at breeding areas using remote technology have been primarily conducted following the onset of nesting (Hays et al., 1991; Hays et al., 2002; Houghton et al., 2002; Hays et al., 2003a; HopkinsMurphy et al., 2003).”
Climate change and Australian marine life (2007, background): “Warmer waters also reduce the interval length between the multiple clutches laid within a nesting season (Sato et al. 1998, Hays et al. 2002).”
Investigating the potential impacts of climate change on a marine turtle population (2007, background): “Although we have described earlier nesting in years with warmer SST, this may reflect more rapid egg production following mating as oogenesis is likely driven by prevailing environmental temperature (Hays et al., 2002; Hamann et al., 2003), and females are thought to migrate to the nesting beach ca.”
